KINKS - Apeman lyrics

rate me

I think I'm sophisticated<br>'cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien<br>But all around me everybody's multiplying<br>Till they're walking round like flies man<br>So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages<br>In the zoo man<br>'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees<br>I am an ape man<br>I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized<br>'cos I'm a strict vegetarian<br>But with the over-population and inflation and starvation<br>And the crazy politicians<br>I don't feel safe in this world no more<br>I don't want to die in a nuclear war<br>I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man<br>I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man<br>I'm an ape man I'm a king kong man I'm ape ape man<br>I'm an ape man<br>'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky<br>Compared to the clouds as they roll by<br>Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies<br>I am an ape man<br>In man's evolution he has created the cities and<br>The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance<br>And I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle<br>'cos the only time that I feel at ease<br>Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree<br>Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man<br>I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man<br>I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man<br>I'm an ape man<br>I look out my window, but I can't see the sky<br>'cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes<br>I want to get out of this city alive<br>And make like an ape man<br>Come and love me, be my ape man girl<br>And we will be so happy in my ape man world<br>I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man<br>I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man<br>I'm an ape man<br>I'll be your tarzan, you'll be my jane<br>I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane<br>And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day<br>Just like an ape man<br>I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man<br>I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man<br>I'm an ape man.<br>I don't feel safe in this world no more<br>I don't want to die in a nuclear war<br>I want to sail away to a distant shore<br>And make like an ape man.
